TRENTON — The Gibson County Fire Department and multiple other departments from around the county responded to a house fire Wednesday night at former Gibson County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Jeff Maitland's home.

Fire Chief Bryan Cathey said that when the first crews arrived, they found heavy smoke coming from the eaves of the home in the attic area. Crews were able to control the fire, but it had already damaged about half the home's attic, Cathey said.

Due to the excessive heat, Cathey said at least 14 firefighters have been treated for dehydration, and one person was treated for first-degree burns at the scene.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Cathey said investigators will determine the cause and origin.

Property records show the house, on Marion Dodd Loop Road, is owned by Jeffrey and Elaine Maitland.

Crews from several different Gibson County fire departments and the Madison County Fire Department were still at the home at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday.
